Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. •The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost•

Brushy Brazos Pasture •“We need the tonic of wildness... at the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and un-explorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, un-surveyed, and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature!” ~Henry David Thoreau •I totally agree!
•But on the plus side this place has a survey and plenty of un-explored areas on the ranch to search out and discover!

“Everybody’s somebody in Luckenbach”
This town is so relaxed and just a great place to sit back and watch the world go by while enjoying some good food and drink and some real country music. It’s a tiny town with a big personality and plenty of southern hospitality. Make a point to stop if you can.
If anyone is heading to enchanted rock state natural area, this place is on the way and well worth the visit.

Gila Cliff Dwellings - New Mexico ☺️ I was so excited to see this dwelling. This exact one was in one of my archaeology textbooks! The cliff dwellings were built in the 1280's. These Pueblo people built their homes in natural caves and in the open. These dwellings offer a glimpse of the homes and lives of the people of the Mogollon culture who lived there from the 1280's through the early 1300's.

Pondering is best done above tree line.

It is incredible to me— how small you can feel standing with giants; yet so empowering to walk among them.
Monument Valley was spectacular, and so much more than I expected. Coming from mountains and tree covered valleys, the desert makes you feel a different kind of small. There is nowhere to escape the storms; only the foundations of ones will-power, and self grit will persevere through the winds.

The difference between an ordinary life and an extraordinary one is only a matter of perspective. Pull the blinds, look around you, it is a weird and wonderful world, and you do not need a ten digit savings account to immerse yourself in it. Travel down long winding roads without a destination in mind, climb a mountain and shout your heart out into the void, kiss strangers, make love, skinny dip in a lake, get lost and lose yourself (these are two separate things), explore the wilderness (particularly the one within), think less of destiny and more of the moment right here. Because in the end, as you reflect back on your life in that hospital bed surrounded by family and friends, fame won’t matter, nor will the extent of your wealth. You are the sum of the stories you can tell. #beautaplin#wildbeau .

Q: “Are you kidding me...?” The car was right behind him, door open, and he didn’t get any further than this, but still, I thought it was darn brave of feral-born Quinn to get out and take a look at all that open ground!
This is the golf course in the park, we’ve come here at dusk-into-dark several times (he loves it after dark!) It was an hour earlier, and lighter, in this pic, and... nope, not yet, said he.
There are paved paths for the carts that wind all around the course. Goal: us comfortably strolling the entire course on those paths in the daylight. Olympic Gold goal: same, with humans on the course!
